True happiness is not related to external conditions but comes from the unconditioned.

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.

The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.

... inherited collective mind-patterns ... have kept humans in bondage to suffering for eons.

When you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.

In you, as in each human being, there is a dimension of consciousness far deeper than thought. It is the very essence of who you are. We may call it presence, awareness, the unconditioned consciousness.

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
